Glee Club/Glee Team Male Costume





There are three steps for new students. Just check the link below.

Returning Students
We think most of our returning male singers will need a new shirt. The sleeves on the costume last show were way too long. We have some suggestions below. If everything fits you should only need to buy the shirt if you are returning. Be sure to try on your shoes. Feet grow a lot at this age.

During the month of December, we'll give you 2 Free Regal Movie Tickets if you refer a friend that starts at Glee during the month of December.

Here's the details on solos for the show




Who can audition?

Any member of Glee Club or Glee Team.

What's the song?

It is called Dance Evolution. It has 15 short songs within the medley and all will be solos or small groups.


How do I audition?

1. Email us a YouTube link of you singing the solos you want or record it on your phone and email us a video for each solo you are interested in. The email might work since the solos are short.

2. If you can't do a video, create an audio on you phone and message it to us at 949-241-2667.

Can I choose more than one song in the medley?

Sure, as long as it is a solo for your group. The yellow songs are for Glee Club and the brown songs are for Glee Team.


What are the rehearsal requirements?

You'll have to be willing to stay late at the combined rehearsal and the dress rehearsal.


How do I learn the song?

We can help. Here is the list of songs in the medley with starting times for each song. First decide which songs you want to sing for us and then start learning...

List of Solos
Words to the Songs


Here is part 1 and part 2 for the teaching track for Dance Evolution.
part 1 demo
part 2 demo


Here is the minus track for your audition performance.
part 1 minus
part 2 minus

When is the deadline?
We would like to have all recordings by Friday, December 4th. If you can turn it in before that, even better.

How do I increase my chances?

1. Send a video so we can see you perform and take it the top with enthusiasm. If you don't feel a little funny, you probably aren't smiling enough or have enough energy.
2. Learn the song with the teaching track but perform with the minus track that does not include the singer.
3. Memorize the words. It is short - you can do it!
4. Turn it in before the deadline.
5. Look right at the camera and have fun!

If you're a voice student, we hope to see you participate next year. Hal Leonard is the next event we are preparing for after the Christmas recital.

Natalie Olgin gets $45!  



The Olgin family gets a $45 next month for Glee. Thank you to Natalie and Jillian Olgin who told their friend about piano lessons at Glee. And Jillian and Dilara need to remind us to give them their free frozen yogurt gift cards.

Dilara had her first lesson on Wednesday! Just one more week to get your $45 credit. Just invite your friends to Glee, if they decide to stay you get paid!

Christmas Recital



Saturday, December 19th at noon is the Christmas Voice Recital.
All the students wanted to get together and sing Christmas songs and do a potluck. Just bring your favorite hors d'oeuvre to serve. It will be short and sweet. Not a student? Just bring something homemade to share and you're invited!



Great picture of the Frost Family coming to support Ashlee at NATS on Saturday. Ashlee is a voice student, Glee dancer, and Glee Club member. Andrew is a voice student and Danielle is a voice and guitar student. We love the Frost family.
